June 02, 2008: Under Construction: Castle Grayskull Redux

Is He-Man headed for another live action feature? The possibility is becoming more and more real. A copy of Justin Marks’ Grayskull: The Masters of The Universe screenplay is now in circulation. Many of us remember the last (and unfortunate) live-action He-Man film titled Masters of The Universe. Dolph Lundgren, an Ewok, and Courtney Cox eating KFC, nuff said.

El Mayimbe has an early review of the sceenplay in it’s current incarnation.

A few things you can walk away from this knowing:

1)The characters stay on Eternia (e.g. NO KFC Drivethru)

2) The He-Man mythos of the film is a blending of science fiction and fantasy (similar to Star Wars)

3) It has an origin story (Batman Begins is a good model)

4) Diabolically sexy sorceress Evil-Lyn not only lends her lithe physique to the film, she also narrates the opening sequence.

5) Giant sweeping battles (think Sci-Fi Samurai warfare 300 style)

Check out the review to get more information on the screenplay and plenty more juicy potential spoilers.
